Yes and it's the color of money so it could be an economic protest. It's also the color of weed so it may have been about legalizing it. It's also the color of paing that's on sale at mikes hardware for 25% off due to the shade being discontinued.

It's nice to see thinly vailed biggetey but it was paint not a bomb so not likely to be Islam.

With all of the green painted memorials around there who knows it could have been an accident.

/fine police work there, Lou

Gawd, I'm telling you.Last time I visited the National Mall, there were multiple incidents of accidental green paint throwing. People just have to be more careful with their open buckets of green paint.sigh.

Really?

You know, if you're going to make shiat up and lie, you should probably get a job at Fox first.

You're pretty autistic, aren't you?The foregoing commentary was made in the context of the stupid cop saying it looked intentional.The humor lies in the absurdist notion that people walk around Washington with green paint all the time and that multiple accidental splashings of green paint are common.But I guess you missed that.

This reminds me of a CSB. I created a monster at my place of employment. My "neighbor" has a habit of walking away, even going home with his computer unlocked. Just sitting there waiting for somebody to mess with it. So, one day, I did. I sent a nice juicy love note, about how *he* wanted to have another male co workers baby, loins burning for him....ect, ect, ect. Well, everybody got a good laugh, but now it isn't safe to even walk 10 feet away from your computer and leave it unlocked.

To the CSB portion....a number of months ago, the same guy, again, left his computer. So, being the good co-worker that I am, helped myself into his email and sent another co-worker a lovely email that consisted of nothing other than penis penis penis penis repeated a few hundred times. As I walked away from his desk with a childish grin on my face, I happened to walk past the email recipients office....where to my horror, he was in a meeting, with his computer on a projector, with a director in his office, while on a Web-X with one of our facilities with a couple of ladies on the other end of the web-x.

His email wasn't up, but he gets that little bubble pop up giving a preview of the email. He and the director saw it, and he thinks he killed it fast enough that the participants on the other side of the web-x didn't notice. But the director sure did. He got a laugh out of it....I never fessed up. The emailer and the emailee know it was me, but the director doesn't know this, and doesn't need too.

JusticeandIndependence:This type of reprehensible act is unfortunate but it did not permanently damage the memorial and this incident further underscores the need for the National Park Service to provide more funding and more personnel so as to provide a higher level of deterrence through officer presence. We are fortunate that this deplorable act can be remedied but caution that we are lucky that this wasn't an act of terrorism.

Geez dude calm down a little bit before you rupture something.

Well the guy has a point. With modern telephoto lenses and digital zoom, a squad of para-military LEOs forcing you to remain half a block away, big deal, you're still plenty close enough. And when the Army starts unloading surplus tanks due to all the new ones they'll be getting, the Park Service can snap a few of them up for pocket change and start deterring the shiat out of stuff. You'll get all the deterrence you can stand and a pinch more for afters.

Green is also the color of the vestments worn by Catholic priests during Ordinary Time, which focuses on the three-year period of Jesus' public ministry. So it could be urging the Church to rededicate itself to Social Justice issues.

HotIgneous Intruder:This should be a prison sentence.But watch the federal authoritarians jump al over this as if it were terrorism.

You should see the arguments that classics scholars and political scientists have over the vandalism of statues in Athens during the Peloponnesian war (~470 BCE)! They still debate whether Alcibiades vandalised the statues of Hermes before lanching on a mission against Syracuse (Spartans?). The vandalism had so strong an effect on Athenian morale and political stability that the event, and ancient discussions of it, are still talked about. Any members of US government who took political theory at the University of Chicago, or some other Ivy Leage schools, would have about 2500 years of precedent to consider vandalising statues an act of terrorism or an act of treachery with dramatic consequences. Well...melodramatic consequences, anyways.

Interesting, but I just can't imagine Catholic priests vandalizing a national monument. But before you start playing the racist card, I really don't think it was done by Muslims, either. My comment was intended for humorous purposes only.

Before anyone jumps to the conclusion that this was vandalism by southerners trying to get back at Lincoln, I should point out that the vandals didn't leave any vehicles up on blocks, or three stepladders duct-taped together.

Where is the "Cool" part of that story.

Cuz really, you come off as a complete twatwaddle. An Innocent person who did nothing more then rely on the maturity and trustworthiness of his co-workers could have been fired for that, and the company sued for creating a hostile work environment. So again... how was this a "Cool" story?

Plus it had absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand, unless you are comparing yourself to the antediluvian slug(s) that vandalized the statue, in which case I wholeheartedly agree.

This.

A few years back, a bored coworker used a moment while I stepped away from my desk to send a resignation email to my manager. (Fortunately, it was only taken seriously for about ten minutes.)

I'm still there, but both the instigator and the manager aren't. (Not causally related, just ironic in retrospect.)

At my work if someone walks away from his computer an email gets sent out to the team that he is buying lunch for everyone, its in our code of business conduct tha w can be fired for walking away from your computer unlocked so the person just bites the bullet and orders a pizza

Headso:they need to close the place for that until some guy can get around to pressure washing it off?

They can't clean until they dust everything for fingerprints. Could take a while. They're checking the NSA's phone records right now to see who was there. That way they can bring Federal Terrorism charges and put the terrorist slimeballs in prison for the mandatory minimum of 20 years.

See, another terrorist plot foiled by the essential monitoring of all US citizens.

An entire office full of twatwaddles so untrustworthy and immature that you need to have policies in place that threaten termination just to make sure you act like grown-ups?

Okay, let me try to put a stop to this once and for all. I made an apparently poor choice in judgement and I'm sorry if I deeply offended anybody by my unintended racism. Seriously.

I'd like to see the temple of Lincoln demolished and a monument to John Wilkes Booth erected in its place. Booth is a hero to us unreconstructed Southerners in the same vein as SEAL Team 6 is to most subjects of the US empire today. A big difference worth noting, however, is that Lincoln was responsible over 20,000% more American deaths than Osama Bin Laden was.
